Buizel, Great Encounters #61

Great Encounters is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on February 1, 2008. The printed size is 106, and the checklist is the same length. Buizel is 61/106, in position 61 of 106 on this checklist. Before it is 60 Baltoy, and after it is 62 Cacnea. The listed rarity is Common.

Buizel is a Basic Water Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 14. In the Pokédex this is Buizel (#418), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card lists Floatzel, Floatzel (#419) under evolves to.

Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this card. The same name is on 471 other cards in the catalog.

Buizel (#418) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 15 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2025. The earliest other card is Buizel 72/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). Both list 60 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. 7 other cards of Buizel list a different HP.

The attack Headbutt lists 10 damage. Surf is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Water, Water. Weakness is Lightning +10. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It has a flotation sac that is like an inflatable collar. It floats on water with its head out."

I keep a set binder for Great Encounters, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Great Encounters set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Buizel can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
